Moore reappointed as presiding judge

District Judge Kelly G. Moore of Brownfield has been reappointed as presiding judge of the Ninth Administrative Judicial Region for a term that expires in 2016.

Moore is the judge in the 121st District, which covers Terry and Yoakum counties. Presiding judges oversee regional court administrative rules, advise local judges on judicial management and sit in for local administrative judges in their absence. In addition, presiding judges also assign visiting judges to hold court as needed when case backlogs occur.

The Ninth Region covers courts in 45 Panhandle and South Plains counties.
